Is this a feature for the backend or frontend?

Frontend

What would you like?

Hi! Thanks for this amazing project I just discovered.

I have many cards with youtube video links in the description. I wish they had a thumbnail view with the video title directly on Planka, and optionally set as the card cover in the main board view. Trello already has this with many customization options, including regular webpages:

Why is this needed?

Much easier to create boards about inspiration content with direct visual links to each resource.

this would be really great, we are using the feature to just paste links in a new card title, and then it should look like this:

That would be a great feature!

It seems this feature is only available on the "major players" in this space, none of which are self-hosted. If Planka adds it, that would be a clear advantage over all other self-hosted alternatives.

@meltyshev Any plans to implement this in the near future?
